George Mervitz6 October 2024I’ve been to many physios, but DIY stands out for truly using every minute of the session. No wasted time—just focused, effective treatment tailored to my needs. I left each appointment feeling like real progress had been made. Highly recommend for anyone wanting genuine, dedicated care!Dominic S19 September 2024Brendan has incredible knowledge of the spine and explains what the problem is and how he is going to try and repair it for you in simple terms. Couldn't recommend a better Physio, ive passed his details on to several people already.Arian Bonalume12 September 2024I got injured 5 weeks before a competition, I booked a session with Brendan and in the first session he showed me everything that was happening with my body, we worked together on the solution and I am 100% now. I highly recommend this service 10/10Michael Lamb3 September 2024Brendan is a Demi God, the real deal, pay no heed to others AI Generated claims and spin. If you are reading this review, then you’re already 99% there. If you need a couple of bullets points to make you click yes for an appointment - 30 years plus in his trade - Been across every injury and recovery process that you could possibly imagine - A passionate professional that at the start of every visit, assesses where you are at and what you need, and then maximises each and every session - Very personable and always up for a chat, or not, that’s up to you. - Brendan provided me a solid education on my injury, breaking down every component into layman’s term. Understanding the process really helped me - I broke my ankle in 3 places and won first prize of 8 screws and a plate. - I’m a non sporty, 55 year old, fat, couch potato, who thought only fit people went to a physio, pretty naive in hindsight - Brendan, was able to visualise the process for me. What muscles, tendons, ligaments that we were working on, this really motivated me and made visualise what was ahead for me that week and it really motivated me to achieve that weeks goal. - Brendan worked out my personality pretty quickly and he gave it to me straight, which I really appreciated. - He would tell me when I did too much, which caused excessive swelling, equally, he would tell me, that I could’ve done a bit more, all comments were bang on. - Make the appointment, you will be rewarded with the quickest path to recovery, and you will be happy for doing it I wish you the best with your recovery, I’m 6 weeks in with Brendan (week 9 since the injury), I’ve been out of the CAM Boot for two weeks and walking around, still got a long way to go but 100% confident I’m going to make a full recovery, thank you My next goal, do a full lap around Centennial Park, words I’ve never uttered before : )Tim Regan13 August 2024I highly recommend Brendan as a physio. He is extremely knowledgeable and very personable. He fixed my shoulder with just a few visits.Lauren Mitchell13 July 2024Brendan is a fabulous physio with a personal touch! He never fails to make time for his clients and works through recovery based on your needs. Highly recommend.Tasha Crawford6 July 2024Brendan provides a fantastic service that is practical and works to alleviate pain in the long term. He was great at explaining the root problem to my back pain and empowered me to make little changes in lifestyle which have helped immensely. He also gives great massages!Hayley Michelle2 July 2024Brendan is amazing! I've had knee issues for years and finally decided to see a physio about it when I could hardly walk after going for a run. Brendan quickly figured out the issue and helped to stabilise the knee so I could still ski on the weekend. Since the initial diagnosis, follow up appointment and working through the exercises provided Ive felt a huge improvement in both my knees and have started being able to run without pain. Highly recommend!Ramiro Poma Antúnez25 June 2024Brendan was really helpful in my recovery as I had my shoulder injured for months and he helped me recover in couple of weeks and also is currently helping me recover from a back injury (disks ) and I’m felling better each session !
DiY is individual 1:1 treatment for Chronic/Complex Back and Neck pain, Sports Injuries and Orthapaedic rehabilitation from a very experienced Physiotherapist delivered in a bespoke clinic in the Sydney suburb of Kensington. Every initial consultation is for a minimum of 1 hour.
At DiY we have a particular interest in back and neck pain sufferers who still have pain despite numerous treatments from a number of therapists. These more troublesome and chronic conditions require a more holistic view and some real experience.
After working with elite athletes and weekend warriors and with many years of on-field injury management in some of the toughest games in men’s and women’s sport, DiY Physiotherapy provides high level professional injury management. We can then deliver a rehabilitation process that matches your level, your motivation and your lifestyle.
I have personally undergone Knee Replacement Surgery and Hip Replacement Surgery. I now see many pre-op and post-op joint replacement clients and work with Sydneys top orthopaedic surgery teams to achieve optimal post op rehabilitation.

At DiY Physiotherapy I choose to do things differently because I know that, given the choice, most people want to take an active role in their own healing. I also know that genuinely good therapy does three things:
DiY Physiotherapy is for those people who value knowledge and self empowerment and who want to be a significant partner in their own healing
DiY Physiotherapy is the culmination of over 30 years of clinical experience. I opened my first one-man clinic in South Coogee in Sydneys Eastern Suburbs in 1990. Within 4 years that clinic was the largest independent integrated physical health clinic in Sydneys East. Over the next few years I established and ran 8 clinics and health businesses and employed and trained over 200 staff. I now bring all that experience, expertise and wisdom back to where it all started – in the clinic, one-to-one with each individual client and taking the time to fully understand the issues in each case.
Professionally I have a wealth of experience with sporting injuries and teams.
These include:
Randwick Rugby
St George FC, Apia Leichardt FC, Easts FC, Pagewood Botany FC, Inter Lions FC
Randwick Netball Association
East Sydney AFL
Moore Park Rugby League
South Maroubra Surf Life Saving Club
I have a particular interest in complex back and neck pain I am one of the very few Credentialled McKenzie practitioners in Australia.
